If you’re inclined to spend more time in and around the hotel you’ll be pleasantly surprised at everything there is to see and do. W South Beach is a luxury destination hotel and knows how to not only treat its guests right but to keep them happy at “home”. Since South Beach is about the water the W has created an incredible oasis around their pool with five beach bars, secret gardens and private bungalows for the ultimate in poolside relaxation. If you’re looking for the actual beach, W offers a variety of motorized and non-motorized beach equipment for guests to use and rent. Having that beach-worthy body is one thing but keeping it is another and since W offers long and short term stays, exercise becomes a focus for many. Try the regulation sized basketball court, a game of tennis, or the brand new Bliss Spa.

Dining at W South Beach
There are a number of dining and bar options at W South Beach. Mr Chow features authentic Asian specialties.
